dencorso Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 IE9 cannot be installed on XP. But it can be spoofed. Just merge this reg in addition to a clean IE8 install, anf there you are:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent][-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent][-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent][HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent]@=""[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent]@=""[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent]@=""[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent]@="""Version"="MSIE 9.0" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jody Thornton Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 When you say "spoofed" is that more like a user agent identifier, or can you now run IE9 in XP by doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 @JodyT No, IE9 won't run or install, the "spoofing" is exactly what you said, simply a change of the user agent, what will be running will still be IE8, faking that it is IE9. @Jakob99 I just want to say one word to you. Just one word. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061722/quotes?item=qt0282091 Direct2D BTW last time this word was provided as an answer connected to IE9, here, by our friend MagicAndre: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie9-windows_other/ie9-for-xp-why-doesnt-internet-explorer-9-work-on/e8113f20-b149-4763-b4d4-562d1da524b6?page=1 it started a nice flamewar, that we may hopefully avoid repeating here. jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
